@ACuriousPLAFan @Overbom @plawolf and to all on this forum, have you guys read this piece/essay recently published in Foreign Affairs Magazine in which the author discussed the disappearance of a number of high ranking generals from the PLARF including the most senior military man who headed the procurement from 2017-2022. The author posits that the PLA is a rougish institution that's prone and infested with scandals not to mention corruption.

If you want to see real corruption in military procurement and ineffective hardware, look no further than the US, with its LCS, Zumwalt, boondoggles and Future Combat Systems, Ground Combat Vehicle, hypersonics vaporware.
